Rosedale SA 5350

On 5100sqm in the picturesque township of Rosedale, formerly known as Rosenthal is this imposing structure of 100 + years, with some of the most beautiful ornamental cornice and ceilings and lead light windows and doors I've come across.
The current owners, have been working on their dream and have partially succeeded with interior room restoration, wall plastering, new ceilings, re-roofing, guttering and flooring, but alas unable to fulfill their dream - there is plenty still to do, but the major work has commenced with underpinning completed and new veranda's poured for the main home.
Cottage: The oldest part of this home built in 1880 has four rooms, floors have been filled and walls plastered, new gyprock ceilings in place - there are no skirtings or cornices at this stage, but the major work done. The kitchen has an original arga wood stove and a brick feature chimney, the main living space has an original timber ceiling and cross beams. There is also a dry cellar and a smoke house. A section of this old building has new colour bond roofing. This part of the home is crude and requires imagination and planning for restoration to sympathetically incorporate into the main home.
Adjoining but not connected to the original dwelling is the federation addition from 1910. This part of the home is grand, with a wow factor on entry. Wide central hallway, 14 ft ornate ceilings and cornices, detailed leadlight windows and doors and timber floors make this an energy house for restoration. The kitchen has modern elements with argar and walk in pantry. Many original features prevail, but a lot of cosmetic work is still required - it's a long term project and a restoration handyman/builders dream come true.
On site are established trees and remnants of formal gardens and stone out houses, all of which are currently untouched and unruly! There is a double lock up garage and an open stone shed with iron roof.
If you have an eye for a masterpiece and the heart of a lion then give me a call and see for yourself. This is a rare find in a stunning rural setting, easily accessible to the Barossa valley and Gawler and just 5 minutes from the Sturt Highway. There is plenty of potential and plenty of home here, but there is plenty to do, so don't call if you're not up to it - it will only suit those committed to restoration and renovation.
